Their most successful single to date, Hypnotic Tango , a cover version of the Italo disco hit by My Mine , reached the top 10 of the German single charts in 2002 , was one of the most successful dance singles of the year and earned them an Echo nomination.

The following year they produced together with the front man of the Eurodance project SNAP! famous Turbo B. the single Ballet Dancer . Also in 2003, How Old RU? , another hit that climbed the dance charts as the best single of the year. In 2006, the moderately successful and for the band rather untypical sounding single Since You've Been Gone , a cover version of the rock classic by Russ Ballard from 1976, was released. In 2007 the second studio album Put Your Hands Up was released , the first single Walking In Memphis / Can Delight reached the top of the club rotation dance charts for several weeks.

Internationally, Master Blaster has sold several hundred thousand records, they are produced by MT! Entertainment , the production company of Sascha van Holt, (until 2005 with Rico Bernasconi ) and Mike de Ville.

With a remake of their hit Hypnotic Tango released in 2012 together with Paul Janke , one of their releases was able to place itself in the German single charts again after more than five years.
